Is the fructose in raw honey unhealthy?
I've read honey contains the same amount of fructose as HFCS. Is it metabolized the same way? I don't use a lot of honey so wondering if this is worth getting depressed over.

The fructose in HFCS is a reversed isomer of the commonly found fructose structure, not sure if that is caused by the processing or the fact that HFCS comes mainly from GMO corn (the GMO corn might be resulting in the reversed isomer, but GMO materials are also used in the extraction)
I'm not sure of the structure of the fructose in honey, but I would imagine if the bees have been fed HFCS (more common than you think, particularly in winter), the structure could be the same as the HFCS. If they are free range bees (is that the term?) I would expect the fructose to be a different structure to the fructose in HFCS.
Are you eating raw honey? Raw honey would be more likely to be sourced from free range bees.

If this is true, you should still be fine since you consume small quantities...besides the many other benefits of raw honey are high....dont get depressed over a little fructose.

I have never had a problem with eating too much raw organic honey. Calm down.
If you had cancer or candida. Maybe not a good idea.

I would assume that fructose regardless of the source is metabolize the same way. I don't think it's something you should get depressed over though. Honey might offer some minor benefits but IMO should only be use sparingly.

Fructose in HFCS is not fructose in it's natural state. Also in agave it is not natural, the fructose
has been hydrolised and is the result of breaking-up longer natural occuring chains of fructose (inulin for example)
into smaller parts.
No, not all fructose is the same. Honey has unaltered fructose.
Altered is not the same as unaltered, not in words neither in nature...

Ya I see what you're saying. I think spirituality and raw food, in my opinion have different levels. I think some people put too much emphasis on it being itself a spiritual practice, so I'm arguing the point that down plays it, not to obsess abou...

That sounds like a good topic to discuss! Thanks Lee. I thought it would be great if raw was the final destination before ascension because I don't see people who are really into it going back to eating meat or junk food.. but maybe you meant that...
Yes but how did they know what has happened?
